I don't think there has been a light bulb moment. The price must have gone down else why bid now?thenewbie said:Maybe you BOTH need to chill a little? This is making me miss the argument thread, this would've been prime material.
As to the Dempsey rumour that is one I can see happening, they've quoted us a price, we've made a counter offer and now Gallen's got to do the haggling to get to a middle ground.
Gillingham are desperate for a striker and they can't bring one in without selling Dempsey and possibly Tucker as well.
Crewe can't do anything while the still have Lowery on the books. There are probably a dozen or so other clubs in the same situation.
The problem is we have left ourselves too short and are more desperate than we needed to be.4 -

Knowing us we'll bid for Ben DempseyForeverAddickted said:

can't we just swap him with our Dempsey and call it quits?10

If we could somehow get Dempsey and Lowery (I don't know how likely this is and it's probably one or the other) that would be a very good couple of additions.2

At least we now know we're looking to sign a CM, fingers crossed we can make it happen.7

Agree it would be an upgrade on what we’ve already got, but wouldn’t that be one too many central midfielders?MarcusH26 said:If we could somehow get Dempsey and Lowery (I don't know how likely this is and it's probably one or the other) that would be a very good couple of additions.
We’d have JFC, Gilbey, Watson, Dobson, Clare, Morgan, Dempsey and Lowery all fighting for 3 places0 -
Would certainly make them fight for a place in the team rather than thinking they can go through the motionsElliotCAFC said:

Possibly one too many , could mean Dempsey is loaned out . But would allow for rotationElliotCAFC said:

Could also loan out Clare, Dobson or even Morgan or Watson in January to make room for JFC.MarcusH26 said:

The Dempsey that Elliot mentions would be Kyle... Not BenMarcusH26 said:

Because it’s weird. What’s funny about saying handout is in the national squad. If you were sitting in a pub and someone laughed in your face, what would you say. It’s rude.sam3110 said:
Why do you question every lol you get? Someone might be laughing at the fact he can't get in the team, as opposed to laughing at you. Get a grip ffsTodds_right_hook said:
Why the lol? It’s true, he has started one game for Mansfield this season and has been on the bench every other game which suggests he isn’t interested.Todds_right_hook said:
He can’t get in Mansfield’s teamShowmetheway2gohome said:Could we get lapslie back think he would walk in this team now.
I don’t get how a league 2 squad player like lapslie is all of a sudden good enough but when we sign a league 2 player, there is melt down on here?4 -
I don't think it's a question of a "lightbulb moment", more like they put a price out there that no-one would pay so they now have to consider either accepting a lower price or not selling him (which as you say would not really suit them in bigger picture terms.)Cafc43v3r said:

The problem is we have left ourselves too short and are more desperate than we needed to be.
If we are interested I suspect it's been the case for a while but either we've ramped it up due to performances or a change in the Lowery situation (if indeed he is on our radar) or they've buckled and are now actively trying to sell him.0 -
We need a squad and seeing as we play one up front, this is the kind of depth I was hoping to see this season.ElliotCAFC said:

Oh my bad for misreading it! Got a bit confused there but that now makes sense.
Would possibly be too many to balance , of course there's Watson too.1 -
I doubt JFC or Gilbey will be fighting anyone soon. And Watson was not supposed to be playing this seasonElliotCAFC said:

Sorry I ment a light bulb moment in our recruitment team. In terms of we better get off our arses. I suspect they knew this would happen.thenewbie said:

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with depth and competition for places, there’s just a fine line between squad depth and too many high earners that can’t get in the team.mart77 said:We need a squad and seeing as we play one up front, this is the kind of depth I was hoping to see this season.I’m just being picky, it’s certainly a better problem to have than the one we’re facing now.1 -

We absolutely need midfielders, we could have 20 Dobson’s, if they’re not good enough it’s irrelevant.6

Oh right, that makes sense. I do agree that they've probably guessed this would happen but I don't think we've suddenly out of the blue just decided to make an offer, I think this has been brewing in the background but we're finally seeing the "end of window" increase in movement that's apparently going to salvage our season*Cafc43v3r said:

* I'm not saying this is ACTUALLY going to save our season before the pedantic crew jump on this sentence.1 -
Tbh I only want to see Watson doing what Pearce is currently doing, regardless of his wages and then I’d see the others (if Lowery and Dempsey signed) fighting it out which would be 4 players for 7 spots. I also really think if we don’t improve this area we will have a very long and hard season.ElliotCAFC said:ForeverAddickted said:Would certainly make them fight for a place in the team rather than thinking they can go through the motions
